For the past two years in Southern California, and the West Coast in general, recruiting big uglies has gotten ugly.

With minimal depth at the offensive line position, 6-foot-6, 290-pounds offensive tackles have been slim pickings for USC.

In 2010, the Trojans only offered scholarships to a handful of offensive linemen with Pete Carroll at the helm. While the arrival of Lane Kiffin produced several new scholarship offers along the offensive line, the total count never reached more than 10.
